昼夜节律，即许多生理和心理功能的周期性波动，被认为会影响对轮班工作的适应。一个被广泛认可的昼夜节律的个体差异，通常被称为晨性，表明了与早晨或晚上活动相关的偏好。人们开发了各种自我报告工具来测量早起行为，尽管这些量表的测量数据很少发表。由于早起程度量表被用于选择夜班工人，因此需要对这些量表进行心理测量评估。在三个广泛使用的量表上对大学生反应（N= 501）的心理测量评估表明，这三个量表都存在内部（项目间）测量缺陷。因此，开发了一个13项的量表，从这两个量表中提炼出最好的项目。新的综合量表与外部标准之间的关系与公布的量表与外部标准之间的类似关系相当或更强。
Circadian rhythms, cyclic fluctuations in many physiological and psychological functions, are thought to influence adjustment to shiftwork. A widely acknowledged individual difference in circadian rhythms, commonly called morningness, indicates preferences associated with morning or evening activities. Various self-report instruments have been developed to measure morningness, although little measurement data have been published for these scales. Because morningness scales are being used to select workers for night shiftwork, psychometric evaluations of these scales are needed. Psychometric assessments of undergraduate responses (N= 501) on three widely used scales indicate internal (interitem) measurement deficiencies in all three. Therefore, a 13-item scale was developed that distills the best items from two of these scales. Relationships between the new composite scale and external criteria are comparable with or stronger than similar relationships between the published scales and external criteria.
